Mxene based sensor devices

Abstract

Provided are sensors comprising one or both of MXene-coated fibers and MXene-coated yarns.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A pressure sensor, comprising:
 a first electrode;   a second electrode; and   a dielectric material disposed so as to place the first electrode into electrical isolation from the second electrode,   at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode comprising (a) a substrate fiber, the substrate fiber defining an outer surface coated with a first plurality of MXene particulates, (b) a yarn comprising a plurality of coating fibers, each coating fiber comprising a substrate fiber defining an outer surface coated with a first plurality of MXene particulates, (c) a yarn comprising a plurality of coating fibers, each coating fiber comprising a substrate fiber defining an outer surface coated with a first plurality of MXene particulates and the yarn defining an outer surface coated with a second plurality of MXene particulates, or (d) a yarn comprising a plurality of fibers, the yarn defining an outer surface coated with a second plurality of MXene particulates.
